Hope you like a little thump in your jazz. This self-produced album by saxophonist, Antonio Jackson has saxophone written all over it. Antonio steps into the cutting edge of production by turning funky tidbits and suggestions into big original compositions to give the listener a collection of funky but jazzy grooves and melodies. It's bass heavy with an inspirational and spiritual perspective.
Known for his engaging live performances, this saxophonist makes it a point to capture that same feel on the melodies and improvisation by using the first recording take on most of the tunes in order to stay true to the initial energy of the songs. Antonio is at first a jazz musician, but keeps it simple and in the pocket in order to drive the groove. While the album is heavily produced, the recording is raw, uncut and sincere. If you like that 'live album' feel then you will appreciate this one.
